Technical Note - Cost Formulas for Continuous Review Inventory Models with Fixed Delivery Lags
نویسندگان
چکیده
In continuous review models with a fixed delivery lag T, the state of the system is conveniently described by the net inventory position = (inventory on hand) plus (outstanding orders), in spite of most cost components depending on the actual inventory on hand. To relate these two inventory concepts one observes that the distribution of the inventory on hand at time t + T is determined by the inventory position at time t. This explains the standard convention of charging the expected costs incurred in [Sn + T, Sn+1 + T) to the decision made at time Sn, where Sn denotes the nth decision epoch. This paper derives simple expressions for the expected costs in [Sn + T, Sn+1 + T) as a function of the inventory position just after decision epoch Sn.

EOQ Model with Cash Flow Oriented and Quantity Dependent Under Trade Credits (TECHNICAL NOTE)
Inventory models in which the demand rate dependents on the stock- dependent are based on the common real- life observation that greater product availability tends to stimulate more sales. In this study we develop an inventory model to determine an optimal ordering policy for quantity dependent demand rate and time dependent holding cost items with delay in payments permitted by the supplier un...
متن کاملDynamic Multi Period Production Planning Problem with Semi Markovian Variable Cost (TECHNICAL NOTE)
This paper develops a method for solving the single product multi-period production-planning problem, in which the production and the inventory costs of each period arc concave and backlogging is not permitted. It is also assumed that the unit variable cost of the production evolves according to a continuous time Markov process. We prove that this production-planning problem can be Stated as a ...
متن کاملA note on periodic review inventory models with stochastic supplier’s visit intervals and fixed ordering cost
Most periodic review models in the inventory literature have assumed a fixed length of the review periods. In this note, we extend the work of Chiang (2008) , and consider backlogged and lost-sales periodic review models where the review periods are of a variable length and there is a fixed cost of ordering for replenishment. Assuming that period lengths are independently and identically distri...
متن کاملOne-for-One Period Policy and its Optimal Solution
In this paper we introduce the optimal solution for a simple and yet practical inventory policy with the important characteristic which eliminates the uncertainty in demand for suppliers. In this new policy which is different from the classical inventory policies, the time interval between any two consecutive orders is fixed and the quantity of each order is one. Assuming the fixed ordering cos...
